The Mid-State Amateur Radio ClubFranklin, Indiana"Serving Central Indiana Communities for Twenty-Four Years" Saturday, December 23, 2006W9DUU SKThe Amateur Radio Community has lost a Great Contributor", as Indianapolis Radio Club president Tom Chance, K9XV, put it. We have learned that Paul Bohrer, W9DUU, passed away on the evening of December 21st. As Tom put it, "He will be remembered as one of the most progressive people to introduce VHF and UHF repeater systems and ATV in the Indianapolis area. From the first 34/76 to the many repeater systems today, he linked the community." Tom Weber, KC9GMJ, of the WISH-TV engineering department, wrote: "Most all of you know that Paul had been a pre-eminent engineer here in Indy for about 45 years, most of them with WTTV-4 (and later WTTK-29 as well), and the last 15 or so with WISH-8. He was also a fixture in the Ham Radio Community for even longer than that. We've all lost a tremendous resource, and a plain old good person." Lets all keep Paul's family in our thoughts and prayers. Posted 7:13 PM by Jack |
